Ultra-affordable electric vehicles not coming to the United States anytime soon


Most days, Athena Frederick runs errands and picks up her grandson from school without ever getting in a car. The same goes for her teenage daughter, who goes to and from school alone.

It now spans more than 100 miles, serving 38,000 residents and their more than 11,000 registered carts. Nearly every destination and home in the city is accessible via a class of vehicle that most Americans consider a toy.
